Information Entropy Suggests Stronger Nonlinear Associations between Hydro-Meteorological Variables and ENSO
Understanding the teleconnections between hydro-meteorological data and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation cycle (ENSO) is an important step towards developing flood early warning systems. In this study, the concept of mutual information (MI) was applied using marginal and joint information entropy to quantify the linear and non-linear relationship between annual streamflow, extreme precipitation...
متن کاملThe Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO)
In this opinion article, we present the Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO). The goal of TAHMO is to develop a dense network of hydro-meteorological measurement stations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. On average, there will be one station per 1000 km2. The stations will be cost-effective through the use of new sensor and communication technologies. The station design is robus...
متن کاملA Stronger Subadditivity of Entropy
The strong subadditivity of entropy plays a key role in several areas of physics and mathematics. It states that the entropy S[̺] = −Tr ( ̺ ln̺ ) of a density matrix ̺123 on the product of three Hilbert spaces satisfies S[̺123] − S[̺23] ≤ S[̺12] − S[̺2]. We strengthen this to S[̺123]−S[̺12] ≤ ∑ α n ( S[̺ 23 ]−S[̺α 2 ] ) , where the n are weights and the ̺ 23 are partitions of ̺23. Correspondingly, there is a...
متن کاملNonlinear associations between human values and neuroanatomy.
Human values guide behavior and the smooth functioning of societies. Schwartz's circumplex model of values predicts a sinusoidal waveform in relations between ratings of the importance of diverse human value types (e.g., achievement, benevolence) and any variables psychologically relevant to them. In this neuroimaging study, we examined these nonlinear associations between values types and brai...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of Mycoplasma infections in Iceland and Israel: different associations with meteorological variables.
We read with great interest the article by LIEBERMAN et al. [1] published in this journal last December regarding community-acquired pneumonia in the Beer-Sheva area of Israel. We were especially interested in their results regarding Mycoplasma infections. They found the peak incidence of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma to be during spring, but not in the winter months (p=0.054). Furthermore, th...
